first cause is removed there is little prospect of improvement. Ice is selling at Memphis at three and five cents per pound; but not a pound have I seen here. Vegetables also seem to be in abundance there. On a late visit I enjoyed strawberries, asparagus, peas, beets, and various other agreeable culinary concoctions, yet nothing of the kind is sent to the poor sick soldiers here, only 90 miles distant, and several trains a day constantly in motion. Recently, however, I learn that Beauregard has given orders to purchase freely of vegetables and fresh meat, so that the needy portion of the army will be soon supplied.--Most of the sick have been sent away. Whole regiments are indisposed and unfit for duty, but this is only a temporary illness, resulting from the causes above stated. They could fight if necessary to- morrow. Yesterday we sent through the lines one hundred and nine Federal prisoners, who have been paroled. Probably the same number of Confederates will be p

There they will remain until the rear forces are in position. --Fighting between their pickets and ours takes place daily, but, as at Mason's and Munson's Hills on the Potomac, with no significant results. This is the "small fry" of the campaign, and the parties engaged consider themselves fortunate in being thus relieved from the monotony of camp. The great advantage we possess over the enemy is in our ability to move our entire army to a given point within three or four hours. Thus we can concentrate rapidly and effectively. The Federals, on the contrary, are compelled to make long detours, which occupy a day or more.

Coriet, Miss., May 17, 1862. Twelve o'clock M., and not a sign or sound from the enemy to-day. The sun pours down its hot and scorching rays; the air is filled with clouds of excruciatingly fine dust, which, ceremony, penetrates everywhere, the streets are almost deserted of beings, and men and animals move lazily about their tasks, as if they had yielded to the general languor. Not even a rumor ripples over the surface of this army ocean, to break the monotony of its calm, and we who float on the tide are drifting towards inertness and indifference. Oh! for some grand excitement, some sudden intelligence that shall flash along the wires of the heart, and stir this sluggish mass into its former life; something that will call out man and beast; set every

In his second or that which provides for defensive operations, having no redoubtable gunboats to scatter their big shell among us, he must compensate for their absence by erecting earthworks behind which he can successively retire as we press on, and possibly prevent an utter rout.

Kemper, of the 7th Virginia regiment, succeeds Gen. A. P. Hill as General of the First Brigade Virginia volunteers, Gen. Hill having been promoted to the post of Major General.

The Second Brigade, Gen. Wm. Mahone, passed through the streets on yesterday, en route for camp below the city. This fine brigade is composed of the 12th and 41st Virginia, the 3d Alabama, and three other regiments, two of which are now with Gen. Jackson, and the third near Petersburg. The 12th Virginia consists of the old Grays, of Richmond, six companies from Petersburg, and three companies from the interior.

Sundries. --A splendid regiment — the Fourteenth Virginia--part of General Blanchard's brigade, passed down Franklin street yesterday evening, preceded by a brass band. A little cuss, named Martin Stokes, a member of the Sixty second Regiment New York State Militia, was taken prisoner on yesterday in White Oak Swamp, below this city, by a member of the Sixth Alabama Regiment, and brought to this city and lodged in prison. General Charles F. Henningsen, one of the most gifted military geniuses of the age, and a Southern soldier who has seen service, remains in Richmond without a command, on the eve of one of the most important battles ever fought on this continent. Somebody is in fault, or prejudice has stronger claims than merit of the highest order. Several private houses, saloons, &c., were, it is said, appropriated to the use of the soldiers crowding pell-mell into this city from Ashland on Wednesday last. The papers thereupon suggest the use of the churches.

d save by the few servants left to take care of them. Doubtless if it were known to the owners of such buildings that they could materially subserve the cause of the South by tendering their unoccupied dwellings for the use of the soldiers, they would willingly do so. Most of the class of dwellings we allude to possess far more accommodations than any church in the city. The very large buildings heretofore used by our townsman Hubert P. Lefebvre, Esq., as a select female seminary; Honey Dew Hall, the capacious and elegant residence of James Thomas, Jr., Esq., and the large dwelling of --Rutherfoord, Esq.,--all of them located on Grace street — are untenanted; and we think we hazard but little in saying that their respective owners would cheerfully tender them to the Government, temporarily at least, for the use of the sick and maimed soldiers. The patriotic proposal of the City Council to revive that rather unfortunate organization, the Home Guard, has-been quieted by the Govern

Their appearance, notwithstanding the heavy marches to which they have been recently subjected from Norfolk hence, was decidedly imposing and they won the universal praise of the people for their unexceptionable discipline as they marched in solid column for their future quarters. It is understood that a Naval General Court of Inquiry, composed of the following officers; Flag-Officer French Forrest, President; Captains Duncan N. Ingraham, and William F. Lynch members, and Raleigh Travers Daniel, Esq, Judge advocate, is now in session here for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the destruction of the great iron clad steamer Virginia, to or Rear Craney Island, and of the iron clad steam ram Mississippi; at New Orleans. The public will await with an impatience only equalled by the importance of the subject the developments that may be made on the subjects referred to.

Yesterday a dozen or more, from juvenescent ten up to "sweet sixteen," amused a leisure hour and gave play to their charitable impulses on the corner of 9th and Broad sts., by distributing nearly tied-up bundles of the best provender to the weary and hungry soldiers who were there-lying around in groups.
